is there a cleaner way to do this? (mod editable name color)

[rossi]

basically what i wanted to do is give the ability for staff to change their own (or other members) name colors without having to give them the permissions necessary to edit it from the admin panel. the only way i could figure out how to do it is to use a custom profile field, set it to staff only, then plug it into the mini-profile template

{if $[user.is_banned]}
<span style="text-decoration: line-through;">
$[user]
</span>
{else}
<span
{foreach $[user.mini_custom_field]}
{if $[user.mini_custom_field.name] == "Name Color"}
style="color: $[user.mini_custom_field.value]"
{/if}
{/foreach}
>
$[user]
</span>
{/if}
first of all, it works, but imo it's too messy/hacky and i can't get a handle on how to format it. the single <span> tag alone is broken into 3 lines due to how it's currently formatted

would there be a cleaner way to accomplish the same thing? 

edit: the code tag doesnt want to include my indentation for some reason, but its there

Unfortunately, no, there isn't a cleaner way to do this. rhe only way to change a user's name colour otherwise is with access to a plugin or the theme CSS which would mean access to the admin panel.
